The redesigned New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v7 provides the same smooth platform that the 1080 series has become known for while featuring increased structure for an enhanced running experience. A new engineered mesh upper increases support and offers a more adaptable midfoot wrap while keeping your foot cool by allowing airflow. The blown rubber outsole features deeper and narrower lugs as well as two major flex grooves on the forefoot, improving flexibility and traction. Built atop a Fresh Foam midsole, the 1080 v7 offers a soft and cushioned yet supportive and smooth ride for mile after mile.
